The Architecture: any parts are generic tools used to create alpha boot blocks to images in an architecture-independent manner (e.g., when generating bootable CD images from a machine of a different architecture). There's nothing Linux-specific about that at all; it may not be high on your list of things to port, but it's a porting issue nonetheless, not a "strong Linux dependency". -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
